Question

find the distance between the points (2,5),(2,‐12)​

Answer 1

Answer :-

Distance formula - $\rm \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

• $\rm x_1 = 2$
• $\rm x_2 = 2$
• $\rm y_1 = 5$
• $\rm y_2 = -12$

Substituting the values in formula -

➭ $\rm \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

➭ $\rm \sqrt{(2 - 2)^2 + (-12-5)^2}$

➭ $\rm \sqrt{0 + 17^2}$

➭ $\rm \sqrt{289}$

➭ $\rm 17$

Distance between the points (2,5) and (2,‐12) is 17.
